Abstract: Disclosed are a container assembly and a food processing system (20) comprising thereof. The container assembly includes a sealable body including a chamber (32), a chamber opening (56) formed in the sealable body, and a vacuum sealing assembly (52) mounted to the sealable body adjacent the chamber opening (56). The vacuum sealing assembly (52) includes a needle valve (60) having a needle valve opening formed therein. The needle valve (60) is movable relative to the chamber opening (56) such that the needle valve opening is movable into and out of the chamber (32). A biasing mechanism (74) is operably coupled to the needle valve (60) to move the needle valve opening out of the chamber (32).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a micro puree machine that includes a blade assembly, a lid assembly, and a clip mechanism. The blade assembly has a central support hub, a blade, and an undercut. The lid assembly is configured to cooperate with a bowl assembly and includes a lid and a clip mechanism. The clip mechanism is movable between a first position and a second position and cooperates with the undercut at times the clip mechanism is the in the first position. The blade assembly is retained in the lid assembly at times the clip mechanism is in or near the first position, and the blade assembly is disengaged from the undercut and removable from the lid assembly at times the clip mechanism is in or near the second position.

Abstract: A micro puree machine including a housing, a power shaft, a bowl assembly and a platform. The power shaft extends from the housing. The bowl assembly including at least one locking bowl element. The platform includes at least one complementary locking platform element that is configured to engage the at least one locking bowl element such that rotation of the bowl assembly relative to the platform is prevented at times the bowl assembly is positioned thereon. The platform is rotatable from a first position to a second position relative to the housing such that the platform raises the bowl assembly towards the power shaft during the rotation of the bowl assembly and platform. The raising of the bowl assembly facilitates connection between the power shaft and a blade assembly that is positioned in a lid assembly on the bowl assembly.
